We are running Oracle 8.1.7.0, Forms and Reports 6 and Business Objects version 6 . I would like to know if it is possible to run a business objects report from an Oracle form. At the moment I am just copying the SQL from Business Objects into an Oracle report but it then has to be re-formated. Is there a better way

You might want to try "host" command to invoke BO reporter (passing the report name user/password as parameters to BO reporter).

Hi
It is possible to call Business Object Report from Oracle forms. One way to achieve this is by calling the business object report from the HOST command.

E.g.

declare
BO_path varchar2(200);
My_Report varchar2(30);
Host_Command varchar2(255);
begin
BO_path := 'C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsBusinessObjects 5.0BUSOBJ.EXE ';
My_Report := 'Stock.rep';
Host_Command := BO_path || My_report;
HOST (Host_Command);
end;

Forms [[32 Bit]] Version 6.0.5.0.2 (Production)
Oracle8i Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production
With the Java option
PL/SQL Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production

Business Object 5.0.3
Windows environment.
